My registration has fallen.
Colour Advisors,
We are owners of a gym in the City Centre Shopping Mall. In the last year our registration has fallen by 20%. We have the best equipment and our trainers are very good. However, several of our clients have complained about feeling shut-in when they are in the gym. They leave feeling tired instead of energetic. Could our colour scheme be the problem?
Would you be willing to come over and take a look at our gym and give us some advice and what should be done?
We really need your help.

My workers aren't as productive as they used to be....
Dear Colour Advisors,
I am a manager at a small industrial plant on the outskirts of the city. I have noticed that our production level has been falling for the last few years and we have had several accidents.
I read somewhere that the environment could affect workers' production. If this is so, I would like your advice on what should be done.
I am new to this job and would like to make an impression on my boss by improving the workers' working conditions.

Rumour has it that they might just break out..
Colour Advisors,
I am the administrator of a medium sized prison on the outskirts of the city. We are having problems at the prison; fights among the prisoners, some are depressed and there is even a rumour that some of them might try to break out because they are unhappy with the living conditions here. As this is a model prison, we would not like to have any adverse publicity.
The local government has given me a budget to make improvements to the prison facilities in an attempt to keep prisoners in. I was told that maybe changing the decorations might change their behaviour. So, could you give me advice on the colours I should use for the following areas:
prison dinning area
sport area
sleeping quarters (rooms)
library
This change might make them happier.

There's a lot of competition.....
Dear Colour Advisors
My grandparents died and left me a small restuarant in the city centre. Their business was quite good for many years when there were very few restaurants around. However, we have a lot of competition because there are at least 3 other eating places on our street.
My business associate and I have decided to invest money in redecorating the restaurant. We would like your advice on the colours we should use for the waiting area and the dinning room. We'd like the customers who visit our restaurant to enjoy their meal and to return with friends.

How can I make them want to come and stay...
Dear Colour Advisors,
I am teaching in a school on a government housing estate. Most of the children here come from very low income households and some can be quite violent.
I do not like the colour scheme in our classroom. It is painted grey and white. I think that some brighter colours might make the children feel more at home and eager to stay in after school for extra lessons.
The school administrator has given me permission to paint my classroom. What colours should I use.? I would really like my students to feel comfortable and alert in class.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
